- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2013
- A follow-up documentary to "Detroit on fire- a documentary". Where that one ended, this one begins. A look at the arson/vacant home problem in the city of Detroit through the eyes of the Detroit Fire Department. Interviews and fire footage. Warning - some graphic content and profanity. Message me if looking to purchase a DVD copy.
(P.S. If anyone knows of any creative jobs out there- I need one !! I write screenplays and freelance write. Thanks for watching)
Also I did have permission to use all- even the out-takes.
in 95 or 96 my wife and i lived on rathbone almost around the corner from engine 33 on lawndale. we dressed our son up as a little fireman and took him trick or treating to that station. i remember one fireman who jokingly said..."he's going to take our job" lol that was so cool. memories are priceless.
As a Captain at a volunteer fire dept in Tennessee iwould like to first start off by saying that the men and women of the Detroit FireDept area lung the best and top firefighters I have seen and heard about unfortunately I have not had the opportunity the meet any but they all do an amazing job everyday considering the difficulties they face on a daily basis with the current situations of their city and the administration over them. I want to let you all know that some of the guys at my firehouse we look up to the Detroit Fire Dept personnel and there additude that they have and the passion that they have for their city and the citizens of their city. You all take so much pride in doing the jobs others would not dare the disk to do. So on behalf of myself and other firemen around my area keep strong in what you are doing and thank you for the encouragement you bring to fire depts all over the world because this could be any city at any point in time and you can't let things take your pride away from doing the job you love and that is firefighting and serving your community the best you can.
Switzerland here…. I love your documentations ❤️ they’re great to see, despite the trouble these firefighters go through. What heroes these women and men are!!!! I just can’t, that they don’t get proper equipment, not even toilet paper, it blows my mind 🤯 even in our small volunteer firehouses the equipment and vehicles are way better 😭 hopefully today, it’s better…. they do a priceless job for the community! May the honest and good hearted people be safe 🍀
Thank you! Yes, it's much better now than it was then. Although they're still carrying some of the heaviest tanks available- I think the toilet paper shortage is over.
DFD are true heroes and don't get the respect that is deserved. That is sad, these are some of the best FFs in the US and Canada.
Definitely. If I could rank the best fire departments in the US by geographical region; the Detroit Fire Department would be number one for the Midwest, the New York Fire Department for the Mid-Atlantic, Boston for New England, Miami for the Southeast, Oklahoma City for the Southwest, and Los Angeles for the West.
... I am a FF in Texas, i will happily volunteer to go to Detroit and serve for a week, with NO pay... just brothers helping brothers...
Instead of sending billions to iraq, pakistan.why dont we send it to detroit and turn it around help american! Dam makes me sick
So very well done Constance!!!! Hard hitting and informative. You should be very proud, for this is a story that MUST be told!!! GOD BLESS DFD!!!!
As a Boston Native born and raised my heart goes out to the men and women of the Detroit Fire department .It is sad that you do not even have paper towels or the supplies that you need at a fire house that you need .I have 5 buddies of mine that work in 5 different cities in the Boston area that are fire fighters and my heart goes out to them and to all of you for doing your job and be safe and god bless all of you
So they talk about the mileage and it's 80k, 120k, that's sort of misleading. That's how many miles it's been driven. They idle for a hell of a lot longer. Actual miles on the motor would be closer to 300k for some of them. That's inexcusable for the city to not replace that apparatus.
Yep. In the Diesel world, wear is determined by running hours, not mileage. Still, typically a working hour service life is reached around the 150k-200k mile marker.
it also counts for the pumps if I'm not mistaken. but the point they're trying to make is their trucks are beat to shit along with everything else
Nice Work Constance York. . . Appreciate the time and effort you put into this. I only hope the Detroit FD can remain strong through this even worse time for them. Many have no clue to the extreme measures the men and women of the department go through on a daily basis. I'm glad Detroit On Fire 2 sheds more light on their situation.
thank you for your candid thoughts. I'm a fireman's daughter from LA County so really can identify with the difficult jobs you have. Detroit is quite interesting to me and i've watched lots of vids. Hard to imagine what your citizens have gone thru in this city and yet the corruption is perpetuated over and over. Such a loss probably never to return. Peace be with you all.
Both of these were absolutely amazing. Keep up the amazing work, and to those men and women who have to see and live this every day...THANK YOU!!! Thank you for keeping this city alive.
My father was a Firefighter for South Bend Indiana fire department for 25 years he started out as a tiller fire truck driver he retired as a captain on that tiller fire truck I idolize my father and all of the firefighters of the United States of America for doing a great job and saving countless lives
The politicians don't care about anything except themselves
Really heartbreaking story to see people who care about the city watch it literally go down in flames around them. Both literally and figuratively. I wonder what the status of some of those companies are now, post bankruptcy. I'm sure the situation is even more dire and probably past the breaking point by now. There's just nobody to pay taxes to fund anything; the whole city is in the whirlpool of death.
Also, I'm surprised they didn't comment on hydrant issues with complete lack of water pressure or severely reduced from mains that have been turned off or busted for years.
Thank you Constance for making this video. I live in a middle upper class subarb of Chicago and would have never thought the fire department budget would be this bad. We have a population of 25,000 people and have 4 tankers. And an aerial ladder from 2011. Also have 2 scuba dive units with only one small river. I thank all of the firefighters in Detroit with risking their lives every single day fighting fires. Also this shit you guys put up with from the commissioner is unbelievable. Thank You
It's crazy how how fire departments on military bases have warehouses full of brand new equiptment/fire trucks and they barely run any calls and yet this city has trash equiptment
Thank you for these documentaries. I watched 1 + 2 and it was very informative on what the DFD goes through everyday. Thank you again!

Awesome! you really captured every aspect of the situation these fire fighters are dealing with, excellent job start to finish, part 3? lol!
Great job to the Detroit Fire Dept!! great job Sister and Brother!!
making due with very little! I'm proud of you guy's!
Great film. I work in the fire service also. I can't even begin to imagine the thought of a first in, or even second in, pumper taking 33 minutes to arrive on scene. Stay strong brothers and sisters. Like some said in the interviews, eventually it has to get better. I just hope it does before the department starts losing some of Detroit's finest.
You are right to include Wayne County, the rich ridiculous salaries and payouts that Ficano's been giving are disgusting. He's no better than Kwame if you ask me. Corruption is killing the future of Wayne County residents.
I knew it was bad, but didn't know it was THIS bad. Jeez. When you can't even supply toilet paper, that's a sad commentary.
Or hygiene products for the women who are firefighters in Detroit.
Keep on fighting the good fight DFD. My sister lives off of Joy and Southfield so I have sincere interest in this subject.
@25:25 The citizens had to purchase basic supplies for the firehouse! Like soap, toilet paper, dish detergent, etc? Because the city wont give them the budget? Damn! Its even worse then i thought.
still like that. they don’t give us a lot of things.
Once again, Great Work. I like that you are keeping on the case and documenting the DFD's struggle
Let me guess.....the fire stations that are "Browned Out and Closed" are all in the poor areas of the city.
Detroit does have a "High End" area, which is almost never shown. You can be sure that those people have fire stations close by and opened. After all, they PAY taxes.
You have to ask the question , WHY ? Find the answer to that and you'll understand the What.
Why is the city willing to neglect the poor areas ? To get those people out , so that a more viable community can be built ? One that contributes $$$$ to the city ?
Think about it.
It is all about money and you said it well
serpentarius51 There are upper ends of the city and yes they pay their share.
people who have lived there for years can't see the decay as much but i left detroit in 2001 and came back for a while last year and i could see the how much decay had happened to the area surrounded by vernor, springwells, lawndale, and fisher. in the 90's that area was a lot more intact and clean and probably one of detroits last remaining areas that was still mostly intact. so yeah even that area is starting to see the decay that the lower west side that i grew up in around the michigan ave./livernoise area experienced in the 70's and 80's. so no detroit neighborhood or hold out area i used to call them is safe of massive decay anymore no matter what it seems. i predict in 50 years detroit will be a small city of 2-300,000 people if you're lucky with just a fairly big skyline for that population. and most of it will be unrecognizable for it will be sprawled out like a western or southeastern city with rebuilt suburban looking neighborhoods and subdivisions with actual woods inbetween. it will no longer be built like, look like, or feel like a huge midwestern city but again more like a half sized atlanta or nashville. what a freaking shame, but that's what's probably going to happen. i think what needs to be done whether people like it or not is to raze the majority of structures on the outer 70 sq. mile ring and allow new municipalities or suburbs to develop there. make detroits new city limits the inner 70 sq. miles and raze much of it and fix up what's remaining and redevelop infill in a respective retro urban style, get a government and system that works, draw in a diverse amount of industries, and try to slowly repopulate that inner 70 sq. miles to a million again cause you can forget it ever having 2 million again, and at the very least aim for a respective midsized 500,000 population that will level out and stay. it's better to have a functional cohesive fairly dense half million than than the dysfunctional fragmented condition it's in now. and hey, who's to say that if that actually worked detroit could have the option of re annexing that outer 70 sq miles back once redeveloped ? or it can do what nashville, louisville, and certain other cities have done which is merge city and county. the stronger population and economy of wayne county merged with detroit could do wonders for the area. might sound like a crazy idea but desperate times calls for desperate measures and right now i don't see anyone trying to think of any progressive cures for the town.
Great piece, Constance! Solid storytelling - you've developed and portrayed the people who risk their lives for public safety, not just showing the "fire porn." Good technicals on your timeline, too.
Thank you!
I'm very proud of every fire fighter in Detroit,to do what you do everyday,day in and day out,with putting your life on the line to protect the citizens of your city is amazing....my hats off to you all.....but my opion.....I think every person in uniform which includes,fire,ems,and police should take a stand,pack up and leave the the city,find work in other cities where you can get paid what you deserve,and have the equipment you need to do your job,and you,and your families can feel save to live and raise you family....let the politicians bring in the national guard to take care of the city.....and see what happens.....just saying.....love all of you Brothers....and sisters...
The US Gov't can spend trillions of dollars overseas, but can spend money to help American cities in decay.
So sad about what's happening. I live in Johannesburg South Africa. Your beautiful city deserves better. Peace.
18:41 - That's *all* I can think about when I see them. Some of them are beautiful works of art. I sometimes think of the "1st owner" the ones who walked through that door for the first time as a proud home owner in a thriving city. And then my mind goes to the present and I become lost in reality.
This doc is accurate and up to date (worth watch = yes). You are looking through the window. A very wise and aged window.
I could never begin to describe to you what Detroit has become ... the sheer scale of mass chaos is overwhelming.
*You have to see it to understand* - Google "Detroit Train Station Pictures"
PBS Detroit Bankruptcy - Detropia Documentary Review - What Happened To Middle Class America
our department has 38 members, 3 trucks in service, and 7 year old gear. we have a 10 minute response time and work with a budget that's little to none. there is no excuse why you have to close departments.... firefighters are versatile and can work with anything trust me i know. great movie i love that someone actually shows our perspective
This is a great insight/documentary
Devils Night? this happened in Lewiston, Maine for a week. Bunch of kids burning vacant buildings, luckily no lives were lost. You guys do a good job, thanks :)
It's true what he said about not making the news unless somebody dies or it damages equipment, but if you live in places like Livonia or Novi it's breaking news. A few months ago in Walled Lake when a long standing historical building that housed Pepino's Restaurant burned down, you had every news station in SE Michigan flying over in choppers talking about it for days. You never hear about fires in Detroit, because if the networks started to report every fire that happen it would take the entire hour they have 3x a day just to report arson fires.
Such a sad thing to see. I live outside of Detroit in a quieter community, and this stuff is terrible to see..
The only remedy will come from the government. They have to step in to protect the citizens of Detroit. They are Americans and deserve better. I dont blame anyone for fleeing that city
Great follow up to the first film. I said after watching BURN that Detroit on Fire was a better film for telling the unique story of DFD. This new film just fortifies that opinion.
Thank you for bringing this to the public!
Best firefighters in the world. Most fires per man hour in the country if not the planet. Theses guys stretch on everything.
If these guys ever have to leave the department they would probably all make incredible residential firefighting instructors/teachers.
I'm sorry for all Detroit residents and employees who have to live and fight every day in this bankruptcy and all the other mistakes of the past.
Wtf AS FIREFIGHTER, PARAMEDIC IN CALIF0RNIA THIS IS G00D..
Amazing.... just amazing. that is horrible.. less than 150 firefighters on duty. I live in a small town of 5200 is southern IL and with the rural fire dept and city combined there are roughly a total of 60 firefighters. That is near a quarter of the firefighter in a city of 700,000 or so people. god help you...
All my respect!!!
Last line of defence for Detroit. Unbeliveable how the government has let the situation slide! Torn bunkergear and apparatus old and in bad shape?! Dfd firefighters are real heroes, doing their job with those resources! Keep it up, and stay safe, even if your government doesn't give a damn about you and the citizen.
Thank you!
They're already forcing people out of vacant neighborhoods- by not providing fire service and increasing response times. Problem is - when forced to move- they head to the suburbs. They don't just move to another area in Detroit.
How in the hell can the city close down firehouses in the busiest department in the nation. Sad.
great filmmaker great department
this is very bad that these fire fighters have to work in these conditions. I'm in South Africa and we have the same problems, but we don't respond to the same types of call as per your fire fighters though.... we only do fires not even accidents unless its burning or jaws of life is needed... we have even resulted to repairing our own trucks or it never gets done.
Detroit needs to start spending more money on their fire department
Much respect for the Detroit Fire Dept.
makes me so sad. the work that was put by many people before us to build these beautiful buildings. oh and contrary to belief, i have vacationed in detroit lol
+Danielle Elliott lol you vacationed in DETROIT ? ARE YOU A DRUGGIE ????
+Danielle Elliott , you can't "vacation in Detroit". It's an oxymoron.
Outstanding job constance!
thank you!

Detroit needs to have a Homesteading program, like they did in the wild west. Sell land for one dollar, as long as the buyer improves the land, and stays there for 5 years. Then, the DFD needs to have a "Mutual Aid" program, to have volunteer Fire Companies come in and cover stations, in Detroit, from the outer suburbs, to get training and experience. Then, they should also ask for donations, of gear and rigs, from all over the US.
The new mayor has actually made a lot of changes and things are looking much better than when I did this. They have hired many firefighters- they had to as many were forced to leave after bankruptcy. They have bought many new rigs. They have torn down a lot of vacant buildings, rehabbed some, and the mayor has come up with many ideas that are unconventional. In Detroit- the people who stayed have seen property values rise. Arson has dropped, but crime is still pretty bad.
@@constanceyorkMike Dugan seemed like he was a far more competent mayor for Detroit when compared to Coleman Young (may he burn in Hell) or Kwame Kilpatrick.
@@constanceyorkConstance I am glad you have made two documentaries on the struggles and strife of the Detroit Fire Department. Mike Dugan seemed like a more competent mayor when compared to Coleman Young (may he burn in Hell) or Kwame Kilpatrick; who was released from prison and put on house arrest at his mother's home in Georgia due to the virus outbreak. Watching the firefighters talking about how it's extremely upsetting for them when elderly people, children or disabled people are either severely injured or killed in fires tugged at my heartstrings because many of them are moms and dads.
You should make a follow up!
I agree, just trying to find the time. Things have changed quite a bit. For the better.
I am from Michigan. Seems like the DFD is totally badass working under those conditions. I feel so bad for them and worry about their safety as well as the citizens. I remember driving through Flint and out of 12 houses on a street there were 4 or 5 burned out at that time. I live in Virginia since I was 19 years old. I wondered why the abandoned and burned out houses weren't boarded up like they do here. Now I know why, no resources and they will just burn it again. This is just so sad for the good people that live there and want to stay. They get frustrated and leave.
Detroit is a prime example of a city government that cares ONLY about the special interest groups that flood the officials with under-the-table "donations" and how much they can gain for their own greedy purposes. Cities that are run by people like that fast becoming more like a septic tank than a place to live, work and raise a family. I really feel sorry for the firemen, police and other first responders that have to battle through each workday TRYING to make a difference when NOBODY in the city government gives a damn about them or the citizens of the city.
It WAS a prime example. Mayor Mike Duggan has made amazing progress.
At some point, you have to choose your family over the community over the area you live in. When things get so bad that you have to move your family to an area that is safer, so that your family will thrive. Detroit used to be a place to grow your family. Beautiful area with growth, but now, between low economics and the bad element, it;s not worth it. You have to get out of there and grow your family some where else. It really hurts to have to relocate , but it;s for the better.
Did anyone ever educate the commissioner that NFPA 1720 is NOT the standard for rural departments like he tells everyone? NFPA 1720: Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations, Emergency Medical Operations and Special Operations to the Public by Volunteer Fire Departments
Prime example when city officials misappropriate funds! Elected officials should be sent to prison for treating the fire department in this manner! Makes me angry. Allen Retired Firefighter (Captain)
Very well done!
Have you ever thought about doing a trilogy follow up? I just finished the first and thought it was very informative and insightful. Knowing it was old I looked up the arson stats and Detroit is still top 3 with Flint in the running too. I really wonder what DFD looks like today and what the attitudes of firefighters are now.
Yes, I'd love to, but it costs a lot of money and even more time to do these docs and I've never broke even off doing them, so to do another is basically agreeing to volunteer my time for a year. Which was fine when it was an urgent matter. When my friend's lives were in danger. When citizens were living in hell. But without donations, I simply can't afford to do a follow-up. That may change at some point, just the way it is right now. Sharing my docs does help though- so please do. Thanks for watching.
Who thinks Trenk sounds like Norm MAC Donald?
Just goes to show that politicians,pencil pushers and number crunchers don't care about their subordinates that work under them OR the constituents they suppose to SERVE and PROTECT!! much respect to all the firemen,police officers and EMS people all over who work hard to keep us safe. Keep your heads up..we appreciate you.
Peace to the good people of The D.
Thank you
Ive been down to Detroit city hall to offer to purchase properties....and Iam greeted with rude workers who enjoy telling you "you can't buy it"...but I can sit on my porch and watch scrappers slowly destroy the home I wanted to buy cuz the City and Wayne County are slow, corrupt and STUPID!!!!
HEY 2 ALL CALIF0RNIA FIREFIGHTER'S 0UR BR0THER FIREFIGHTER'S NEED 0UR HELP IN DETR0IT A.S.A.P.
This city got what it deserves: Greedy politicians, Democratic thought, Liberal/Progressive ideology, ran out the production and productive people. This is the direct result of socialism and big government. You have to look at what made the city thrive in the first place and why people came to Detroit. Freedom, production, and opportunity. Three key components which were ran out of town. Now what is left are city employees with no tax basis due to know industry. This socialist process will infect city after city until the U.S. turns into a 3rd would industry. Just say no to an obese federal government and Progressive do-gooders.
Great work!
Sad. We are losing Detroit...
Thanks
Unreal!
Holy shit, parts of that city look like warzones. If you look at old pictures of germany after world war 2 its pretty similar O.o
Leaders letting down superheroes I hope their fancy houses don't burn down
THE BIG PROBLEM IS, YOUR MAYOR WEARRS ROLEXES , AND EATS LOBSTER ! THANK YOU GUYS AND GALS ,FOR GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND ! THIS WAS 2012,I GUESS ! HOPE ITS A LIL BETTER IN 2022 ! IF NOT SHAME ON YOU DETROIT COUNSEL !❤️🇺🇲
Mike Dugan is a far more competent mayor of Detroit when compared to the likes of Coleman Young and Kwame Kilpatrick.
Thank you. Please share.
They are both for sale on DVD via paypal. Just email me. Selling copies would help cover my expenses. Thanks
For the price of a cup of coffee a day you can adopt a Detroit firefighter.
I would love to purchase a copy is there a part one? I bought Burn also 2:36

Hi Adam, Thanks for the donation. I ran into trouble after a computer upgrade my software stopped working- when I was almost finished. So now I'm forced to start over with editing. I'm suffering from some medical issues right now and only working part-time which is why I am forced to fundraise for the remaining $300 I need. Not having a lot of luck. But the good news is- yes I have been working and planning the entire time. I have great interviews great footage and enough ideas to do at least 3 more documentaries. I'm sorry it's taking so long- trust me it's VERY hard to wait. But you will be very happy when they are done. I'm really excited about them. Thanks!
What if a shitload of vollies pitched in some manpower?
I'm sure the DFD appreciates your support- but volunteers offering to come here and work for free- does nothing to help the guys here. You only re-enforce city hall's attitude that the guys here are expendable- that their vast experience and dedication mean nothing because they (city hall) can get guys to come here and do what the DFD do for free- or minimum wage.
I'm sure your hearts are in the right place, and I THANK YOU - but offering to come here and work for free doesn't help the DFD's current fight- which is being paid a fair wage and retirement for what they do and have done for 20+ years. If your guys want to do something for the DFD - hold a fundraiser for Brendan Milewski who just had his medical cut after working for the DFD left him in a wheelchair.
I am not DFD, and can't speak for them- but this is my opinion on the subject.
DFD Firefighters work hard and have seen plenty of death and carnage- they deserve for their employers to respect and honor their dedication and sacrifice- and they deserve to not have to worry about their retirements. People don't understand that having 7,000 fires on your resume does IN FACT - make you a better firefighter and one that can't be easily replaced- as much as city hall likes to think they can.
Constance York Thank You for creating these documentaries. I have family who put their lives on the line in the line of duty and this is criminal what is happening to the folks @ DFD. They live in another country and know what it means to be a DFD Firefighter and these guys have respect from other FFs.
Detroit: A pyromaniac's dream city.
I am, in fact, a diagnosed pyromaniac myself. I don't live in Detroit though. I know I will get hate for posting this here...and I am taking a chance sticking my neck out like this, but I have to say this: I am sickened by all these arson fires. I have never EVER burned a structure and I never will. No matter how badly I want to, I just can't and won't. I channel those urges into something safer: newspapers and cardboard and wood in a fire pit in a clearing in the woods where nobody can be hurt. I feel so badly for these poor residents of this city who have to live in such fear. I know. I get hate all the time, even though the worst I have done is torch a dumpster (twice, same dumpster). I can understand why people would get angry when I tell them what I am because it is frustrating to have to put up with some immoral jackass who burns down houses for fun and then to see someone admit fully that they suffer from pyromania...I get it, and I am sorry. I am not dangerous and I wish nothing but love for the people of Detroit. I desperately want things to get better there. I have nothing but respect for the firefighters who have to risk their lives putting out these fires. :(
Much love from the E. Coast.
THATS PRITTY DAM SAD WHEN THERES THINGS BROKE DOWN SO IT MAKES IT SHIT TO FIGHT A FIRE!!!!!!!
They need to audit the city of Detroit and if the city leaders.are wasting one dime they should be fired and put in jail. When you can afford to put toilet paper and paper towels in fire stations you're doing something wrong. I realize they need tax dollars from house and property taxes for fire departments and Detroit has more abandoned property than just about anyone but still.
As much as i would love to get a crew of guys from my area to go help fight fire for a week or two in Detroit. What needs to happen is we need to get all of the IAFF divisions involved. NFPA , OSHA, NiOSH...freakin EVERYONE. We need career, volunteer, part time, current, retired, and future firefighters. We have to hit not just city but state level and FORCE A CHANGE. The conditions our brothers and sisters with the Detroit Fire Department and many others are working in is just too far beyond terrible and inexcusable. And its not just fire department but police and EMS as well. All over the nation theres departments being browned out closed and even entire agencys shutdown. Theres not enough support for the emergency services from the rest of the emergency services community!
more officers and chiefs need to hear your message
You're welcome. Please share.
If anyone would like to donate AEDs for the firehouses- please message me. City doesn't supply them and if the city did supply them- they would make the firefighters respond to EMS runs as well. So, email me if you would like to donate some and I will get them into the right hands. Thanks!!!!
I can't watch the rest of this, knowing that the people of Detroit are going down hill. The pain is so great. When are the people going to fight back?
Detroit has come a LONG way since I made this documentary. I just haven't had the time or money to do a new one yet- I did two on different subjects instead. PTSD and seniority. Hopefully, I will get to a DOF3 soon.
Engine 23 squad 3 my Dad!! Doing a job nobody appreciates!
Let the vacant houses burn down then you will some day run out of things to burn down. As for crime give CCW permits to all fireman/woman and issue left over police pistols to them.
their so used to living in their neighborhoods even if these houses burn everyday their just afraid of living next door to them their pretty much screw at that point !
I wouldn't live in a shit-hole like this ..! No way hosey .. Its like like a huge shanty town, a blooming GHOST TOWN . very sad.😭😭😭😭
so it seems,
no work,
high crime levels,
firehouses closing down,
most arent equipped to run properly,
when the land is empty,barren and scarred,
those in charge of running the city will be out of work too,
and who are they gonna blame??
do they realise they wont paid to run an empty city??
